After checking out Z100's Jingle Ball concert -- featuring Justin Beiber, Selena Gomez and Katy Perry -- the pair headed to NYC's Provocateur lounge, where they were spotted partying until nearly 2 am.

Though they tried to avoid being photographed together, the couple was eventually snapped while entering Kardashian's hotel in the wee hours of Saturday morning.

The reality star and mogul -- who split from Halle Berry's model ex Aubry after a few, intense weeks together -- says she's having "fun" dating.

In fact, Kardashian said she has no preference when it comes to dating an athlete over a model.

"I'd rather date someone with a good heart," UsMagazine.com quoted her as saying.
